               1. A method of treating cancer comprising administering to a subject suffering from cancer with a proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compound capable binding to ASH1L and an E3 ligase complex, the PROTAC compound comprising a structure of: 
              ![]() wherein X is CH or N; 
                wherein Z is S or O; 
                wherein R1 is selected from 
              ![]() wherein R9 and R10, when present in an R1 substituent, are independently selected from H, CH3, F, CFH2, CF2H, CF3, and OH; 
                wherein R8, when present in an R1 substituent, is selected from 
              ![]() wherein R11, when present in an R8 substituent, is selected from 
              ![]() wherein R2-R5 and R7 are independently selected from H, halogen, CH3, OH, SH, NH2, CN, CF3, CCl3, —CH2—CH3, —CH2—OH, —CH2NH2, CH3SH, CH2Cl, CH2Br, CH2F, CHF2, CH2CN, CH2CF3, and CH2Cl3; 
                wherein A is 
              ![]() wherein Ligase Ligand is a moiety capable of binding to the E3 ligase complex; and 
                wherein Linker is a functional group tethering the Ligase Ligand to A; 
                or a salt thereof.
